Script to Restart Remote Gateways

We recently upgraded from 77.30 to 80.10. We have a VPN community with about 100 remote devices (a mix of 1100's and 1430's all on 75 or higher). I need to reboot all these devices, and would like to do so with a script in the wee hours of the morning. I was able to use provisioning in 77.30 to do this, but have not found a way to do it in 80.10. Is it possible? Any assistance is greatly appreciated. --terri

I don't have 1100 or 1430 so I don't have experiences with them. if they are the same as checkpoint running on open servers, I would do something like this:

1- have a centralized linux system for administration purposes,
2- place the public key of this linux server to all the checkpoint appliances,
3- write a tiny bash scripts to allow the linux server to ssh into the checkpoint appliances and perform the reboot,
4- put in a cron job on the linux server to perform the reboot at the appropriate time,
